The Report
This report studies the internet boom in the late 1990s and its subsequent collapse in 2000. The dissemination of internet access was an enormous societal and economic change, and this industry continues to be an innovator of new ideas, with current developments such as YouTube, Facebook and MySpace. The debate on how to value internet businesses continues and this report seeks to further knowledge in this area by studying two possible sources of intangible value for Internet firms – web site popularity and the retention of the founding entrepreneur.
The report undermines the claim that web traffic is a useful valuation technique and predictor of future revenues and finds that the retention of a founding entrepreneur after the initial public offering can adversely affect firm value. This raises interesting questions for the wider business community as to whether the skills of entrepreneurs lend themselves to the ongoing management of businesses.
